What pirate never killed anyone?
Blackbeard would plunder merchant ships, forcing them to allow his crew to board their ship. The pirates would seize all of the valuables, food, liquor, and weapons. Ironically, despite his ferocious reputation, there are no verified accounts of him actually killing anyone. He generally prevailed by fear alone. Blackbeard – $18M – Feared and wealthy! Fun fact: The average American’s net worth in 2022 was just $1. M—these pirates outshone them all!
